How is their encoding coded in the first byte of the texts? I can't seem to find an encoding for iso6937-2 in ETSI EN 300 46, section A.2. Also, what happens if you run such a string through iconv() to convert it from iso6937-2 to iso8859-2 or UTF-8? I'm asking because this is how VDR will handle character sets in the next version.
